Slavery has occurred in many forms throughout the world, but the Atlantic slave trade -- which forcibly brought more than 10 million Africans to the Americas -- stands out for both its global scale and its lasting legacy. Anthony Hazard discusses the historical, economic and personal impact of this massive historical injustice.

This was actually a really good breakdown. As a person of color we often forget the involvement of Africa and also the long-lasting impact it still has today.

I'm Mexican American on my mother's side. She told me that my grandfather when he came to the US in 1908 saw African American ex-slaves with parts of their ears cut off. This is the first time I have ever heard those experiences confirmed.

Proud of my ancestors for being very patient and enduring harshness of the unthinkable

The fact they committed suicide in hopes their souls would return home is actually heartbreaking

Mention slavery, some people automatically jump to defensive mode.

I've NEVER thought that Europeans could go to Africa and simply take people into slavery. I've always believed there was an arrangement between the parties involved. Many thanks for corroborating my theory.

Thank you, it really helps us all when you provide all of these videos and putting all the hard work in it.

There is an aspect of the trans-Atlantic slave trade that is seldom mentioned: the US was a relatively small player in it. More slaves to taken to central America and south America than to the US. The biggest player was Brazil, importing literally 10 times more slaves than the US.

I like how the narrator explains that slavery is at odds with Christian ideals, and how proponents and practitioners of slavery had to go through some logical calisthenics to justify their crimes.

Thank you for putting out a more comprehensive view of it. It's also enlightening to know what the consequences were to the African nations who were left.

Good video - the word "Trade" is so often ignored.
Money has always been more important than anything else.

Not sure what textbooks you guys were reading, but this is exactly what was in mine.

TY for pointing out the religious aspect. Ā Often christians will deny that religion was used to justify this. Ā

This is very brilliantly shown in Steven Spielberg's movie "Amistad"

Really great video. I was never taught - and never thought about - the effect on the African civilizations. Thank you for this video.

To all of you people who is calling Ted Ed biased because the Arab slave trade wasn't mentioned : THE VIDEO IS ABOUT THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE , THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE , THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE With that being said , this video is on the Atlantic slave trade , mentioning anything about the arab slave trade would be pointless because that's NOT the topic of the video. STOP trying to belittle one situation in favor of another , YES slavery in general was/is bad. The video is just highlighting thr Atlantic Slave trade.
